Case Study: Custom Woven Interlining for a Car Interior Supplier in Denmark

Woven Interlining for a Car Interior Supplier in Denmark

A Car Interior Supplier approached us with a woven interlining requirement for the Denmark market. The brief was specific: a defined look, a hard launch date and a unit cost that had to survive freight and duty. This case study records what was specified, what went wrong in sampling and how the bulk order was delivered.

The challenge

• MOQ that was quoted per colourway rather than per style
• Cartons packed to the factory ratio instead of the buyer's size ratio
• A zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse

What we specified

How it was resolved

1. We rebuilt the specification around Neoprene and locked the tolerance before bulk.
2. The finish was moved to Matte Black Coating after strike-off tests showed better durability.
3. A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
4. Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
5. Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and ratio specification.

Result

• 2,000 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the original quotation.
• Inspection-related rejection stayed under 1.5%.
• The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.

What we would repeat

Fix the specification count early. Adding variants after production starts is the most expensive change a client can request.
